if only x64 has this bug then you can let xp compatibility die for x86_64 and keep it only x86 in 32bit people that use x64 pc should not use xp anyway since their pc can run another more modern os

For the market share stats it really depends where you look...
According to netmarketshare the numbers are a little different: https://www.netmarketshare.com/opera...%22-1000%22%7D But whatever, who cares if XP has a market share of 3% or 7%? Fact is that it still is #3 (maybe #4) of all desktop OSs. I would like to make a different point. As someone who always has 2 machines running in parallel, one ancient desktop on XP and a newer Thinkpad T530 on Win7-64, I do know the differences. And I do know why I prefer XP... Having read all the stuff here at Doom9 about AVS+ and all the plugin modernization efforts, I can only say that most of this stuff is work in progress, it is far from stable. Mostly this refers to Pnterf's stuff (AVS+, MVTools2, MaskTools2 and more). I commend him for doing all the work he did, but the results often look like he updated stuff when he really did not understand the original code. After playing a lot with the "modernized" plugins on my Win7 machine, I finally reverted to the old and stable tools (which also work under XP). Sure they are slower and do not offer "modern" features like high bit depth and advanced color spaces. But THEY JUST WORK. And I use these tools for "real" conversions, I do not have the time to chase down bugs. Cheers manolito |

You are absolutely correct:
I use plain vanilla AviSynth 2.60 which is 32bit and single threaded. And I plan to stick with it for the time being. My encoding bottle neck is not AVS filters, it is the encoder. Cheers manolito |

Can I just confirm the behaviour of mt_lut with different bit depths? I'll give some example screenshots of what is happening (including with 2.2.13). It's a random video frame.
Source, 8 bit: mt_lut with 8 bit: mt_lut 10 bit by: convertbits(10) mt_lut ( "x "+string(32)+" < 0 x "+string(45)+" > "+string(255)+" 0 x "+string(35)+" - "+string(255)+" "+string(32)+" "+string(65)+" - / * - ? ?" ) convertbits(8) Same as above regarding convertbits but with paramscale (slightly different frame of scame clip, but it's the same effect right through the video as expected: mt_lut ( "x "+string(32)+" < 0 x "+string(45)+" > "+string(255)+" 0 x "+string(35)+" - "+string(255)+" "+string(32)+" "+string(65)+" - / * - ? ?", paramscale="i8") Now, here's the same frame as the first images but using mt_binarize in 10 bit: convertbits(10) mt_binarize(64) convertbits(8) So, regardless of anything, mt_lut does not scale to the 8-bit values when not under 8 bit, so the mask wouldn't work. However, mt_binarize does automatically scale to the 8 bit values, so the 64 works. Is that correct behaviour of mt_lut in comparison to mt_binarize? |

Try this one: Code:
mt_lut ( "x 32 scaleb < 0 x 45 scaleb > range_max 0 x 35 scaleb - range_max 32 scaleb 65 scaleb - / * - ? ?") Last edited by pinterf; 2nd February 2018 at 09:27. |

@VS_Fan... multi-threading in Avisynth totally depends on how the coder wrote the filter, 'cause Avisynth itself is single thread.
In other words: whoever is writing a plugin should implement multi-threading, otherwise it's gonna be single-thread. MT mode it's a way to speed things up by running multiple instances of single-thread filters, but it's not perfect, it doesn't work with every single filter and should not be used with multi-threading filters, 'cause it would lower performances or worse (make AVS crash). Quote:
Anyway, I understand that supporting XP might require some additional work, but I think it would be really useful to keep XP compatibility. And, by the way, I really appreciate what you have done in these years; I really do. A big fat thank you ^_^ @manolito... I'm using standard Avisynth too and I admit that although it's not bullet proof, it's actually very reliable. Last edited by FranceBB; 2nd February 2018 at 10:44. |

Whether tis 3% or 7% or some other, that is one helluva lot of machines, and will likely be slanted due to many XP m/c's being used offline,
just because you cannot see/count them, dont mean that they dont exist.

I'm just curious, what's so special about windows xp? there're many windows operating systems predating windows xp, how come some people could upgrade from those even earlier operating systems to xp and then just stopped, why aren't they still using stuff like DOS, oh no, why are they using computers and electricity?

Because Windows did indeed improve up to XP (with the exception of the Millennium version which came out after Win98SE). After WinXP everything went downhill. Win8 and Win8.1 was a joke (at least for users without touchscreens), and Win10 is an absolute nightmare for me. Leaves Win7 which is not too bad, but only after tweaking dozens of things to make it resemble XP. This includes turning off this stupid UAC, tame this whole permissions thing, disable Virtual Store (I want to know where my files REALLY are stored). Also getting rid of the built-in ZIP support, installing Classic Startup Menu, make Windows use the DS source filters which I have installed instead of the crappy MS filters, and some more...
After applying all these tweaks I can live with Win7. But MS is actively working to put Win7 into the position WinXP is in now. Just read that their upcoming Office 2019 will need Win10. Once they succeed in making Win7 unusable I will certainly say goodbye to MS. I hope that ReactOS will be ready by then... |

It's ur personal preference, u personally can't let go of the older windows user interface and that doesn't mean the new windows user interface is any worse than the older one, a personal preference is not a valid point to judge the good and bad of an operating system, btw the default start menu in xp is also different from previous windows versions, and I bet user like u surely won't take that default start menu in xp, u have to make that 98 style

I even have Win98SE still installed on a separate partition because I can't live without the old Delrina Winfax (newer fax software cannot touch it, and at least in Germany the legal situation requires oftentimes to send a fax instead of email). Cheers manolito |

Nuttin bettter than WXP with all of that crap turned off, ie in W95/98 mode,
None of them daft transluscent blue menus to appreciate, hit a menu, it apprears, we dont have to 'appreciate it. Pinterf, if you choose to abandon, I can accept and understand that, so can all others that live in the past, if that is what you want, go for it, Of course I would personally be disapointed, but, who cares, shit on me, and Well I dont blame you. Do what you will, to us lowely scoudrels. [EDIT: I'm quite sure that we will get by.] EDIT: My fav was w2K, now that was a blast.(I hated XP, my hate got bigger and shifted focus with appearance of Vista).

The wiki still says VC2015 but for the new release you need VC2017, correct? Can someone with access (and knowledge) update it?

readme for version 2.2.12 says "Visual Studio 2015 Update 3"
Confirmed with Dependency Walker. EDIT sorry, somehow I missed the new release 2.2.13 Last edited by raffriff42; 5th February 2018 at 22:39. |

Visual Studio 2015 and 2017 redistributables are interchangeable, both versions are 14.xx.
For example when you install Visual Studio 2017 Redistributables, it will remove VS2015 version. @raffriff42: I missed editing that section. At the top of the page I have modified the text to "Requires Visual Studio redistributables (14.xx family)" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp...mpat-2015-2017 |

Code:
function testing(clip c,bool info) { ... } sourcefilter testing(info=true) Works if I make the argument "info" optional, or skip the argument name when calling the function. |
